Sir Francis Hincks’ Views.

Tue Patriot is singularly unfortunate in its quotations. Yesterday it quoted a par- agraph said to have been written by Sir Francis Hincks, to show that Mr. Pope—-a Free Trader on principle—is violating his principles in supporting the National Policy of the Liberal-Conservatives. We mend to the Putriot the following from the Journal of Commerce, edited by Sir Francis Hincks. It will be found in the issue of

the 26th ult. :

‘* Thoroughly convinced, as we are, of the soundness of the Free Trade theory, we are nevertheless of the opinion that, situated as we are in the immediate vicin- ity of a great nation, more than ten times as populous as our own, we cannot alto- vether ignore the fiscal policy of that na- tion. We should therefore hail with satis- faction a wise revision of the tanff, with the avowed object of preventing, if it be possible, the unfair competition to which our manufacturers are at present subjected. * * Even at the risk of some loss,

com-

owing to increased price, we would favour :

a policy which would give Canadian markets to our Canadian indusiries, and we believe that the result of such a policy would not be an increase of price. Our object, of course, would not be to obtain revenue from such duties, but to exclude foreign competition.

From this it will be seen that Sir Francis Hincks takes a more extreme position than the Liberal-Conservative Party have adopted. Though thoroughly convinced cf the soundness of the Free Trade theory, Sir Francis would, under existing cireum- stances, apply a tariff to ‘‘ exclude competi- tion,” and he thinks prices would not be raised. What Patriot think of Sir Francis now ?

Trade Advantages.

May we ask the Philosopher of the Patriot to do the public a service by analys- ing the following quotations from the ‘*Political Economy” of that excellent Free Trader, John Stuart Mill :—

Tie market is cheapest to those whose demand is small, A COUNTRY WHICH DESIRES FEW FOREIGN PRODUCTIONS AND ONLY A LIMITED QUANTITY, while its own commodities are in great request in foreign countries, WILL OBTAIN [1S LIMITED IMPoRTS, but at exceed- ingly SMALL COST—that is in exchange for the produce of avery small quantity of its labor and capital.” ‘* Consequently,” Mill argues, ‘‘the opening of a main branch of ex- port trade ; or an increase in the foreign de- mand for our products, either by the natural course of events, or by an abrogation of duties or @ check to our demand for foreign commodities BY THE LAYING ON OF IM. PORT DUTIES AT HOME or export duties; elsewhere—these and all other events of a similar tendency would make our imports no longer a balance for our exports; and the countries which take our exports would be obliged to offer their commodities (specie among the rest) ON CHEAPER TERMS, in order to establish the equation of demand ; AND THUS we should obtain money cheaper and acquire a generally higher rate of prices. Incidents the reverse of this would produce eTects the reverse—would reduce prices.”

If the Patriot will but truly expound to its readers the lesson taught Canadians— who are now largely dependent upon foreign countries for a supply of articles of neces- sity—by the above bit of philosophy, it will

render an essential service to the country. —_————=D 060 oe —-———

DECEPTION.

Tue followers of Hon. Alex. McKenzie in this country are using all their efforts to make the people believe that we will have “ Free Trade” if they but support the present Ad- ministration. This is another of their con- temptible arts to delude the people. It re- sembles, to a great extent, the cry of those men who led the tenants of this Island to believe that they would have their lands free and without paying for them. But peo- ple have become £0 accustomed to polit- ical hypocrisy, and the ery of ‘‘ wolf, wolf - that they are determined to be deceived no

longer !

~~ --—- - —- 3 Po ——

Another of Mr. Sinclair's Blunders.

Mr. Srncvarr stated at the Rink that the Cotton Factory at Hochelaga, is in a pros- perous state, that the Directors declar- ed a dividend of 14 per cent. at the last an- nual meeting; and that the cause of their

prosperity was due to the fact that raw cotton is admitted duty free.” In other words, the Hochelaga Factory is ‘‘ protect- ed” to the extent of 174 per cent—not to speak of the advantage it has of being on on the ground, and having a ‘‘ home market.” Now, if we apply Sir John Mc- Donald's policy of encouraging our indus- tries, by permitting raw materials, which cannot be produced in this country, to come in free of duty, then all the industries.of the country will soon be in a safe and pros- perous condition. That which gives cotton manufactories advantages over many other industries, if applied all round, will have the effect of giving each and all of our fac- tories an impetus, and make them paying industries. —_—————~-or———

On the voter entering the polling place the presiding officer asks him his name, ocupation, residence, ete., and his answers are entered by the clerk. If no objection be offered, the voter is given a_ ballot of which the above is.a fac-simile, except that the cross will not be.on it. The presiding officer has previously initialled the ballot on a counterfoil attached, and has put the voter’s name onit. The voter is then di- rected to enter a compartment provided, where he will finda pencil. If he desires to vote for the Liberal-Conservative candi- dates he will make across to the right of the name as we have marked above. After marking it he will fold it wp and re- turn it to the presiding ofticer, who will look at the counterfoil to identify the bal- lot by the number. After tearing off the counterfoil and destroying it, the presiding officer doubles up the ballot and places it in the box. Should the voter be unable to read, he must take an oath to that effect. Then he will be accompanied by the presid- ing ofticer to the compartment, and in the presence of the candidates’ representatives (who are sworn to secrecy) the officer makes the cross alongside the names of the candi- dates for whom the elector desires to vote.

of expenditure by these boasted economists of $204,116. Inthe same way it appears that though Mr. McKenzie, when he was hammering at the doors of the Government to gain admission, was scandalized by the troops of idle clerks by which these depart- ments were crammed from attic to cellar, yet, when he once got his foot over the threshold, he expended upon the same class of idle clerks a swim exceeding that of the extravagant Tories by 500 per cent.

FACTS FOR THE ELECTORS.

What the Government have done for the Dominion.

They have increased the Dominion Debt from $140,000,000 to $174,000,000, leaving us, as they go out of office, in debt to the amount of $40 for every man man, woman and child in Canada.

They have placed heavy burdens upon the industries of the country and refused to relieve them in any-way.

Thus they have been the direct means of throwing thousands of artizans and laborers out of employment, compelling them to be consumers instead of producers.

They have injured the commercial classes by so using Government funds asto cause stringency inthe money market when the country was most in need of accommoda- tion.

They have squandered the public money on their political friends for — pur- poses, and to meet deficits caused by this course have levied THREE MILLIONS addi- tional taxes year by year.

They have injured the working classes by increasing the duties on the necessaries of life, by reducing the pay of employees de- pendent on them, and by a general system of oppression; and they have injured all classes by a policy which gives American producers the same right in our market as our own people enjoy.

WHY ALL THIS PERTURBATION,

A Baie Verte correspondent informs the Moncton ‘"imes that the Engineers have reached Baie Verte, having been hurriedly ordered from the Island, though they say there was still a week’s work to be done there. Mr. Bell’s schooner brought them over, and the occasion was so urgent that he was not allowed time to unload his ves- sel at the Island before returning with the Engineers. What Mr. Bell gets for the service doth not yet appear—but it will, no doubt, when the expenses of attempting to re-elect Sir Albert are fished out of the public accounts.

The same correspondent says Sir Albert has just awakened from his Rip Van Winkle sleep, and is amazed at the con- trast between the Westmoreland of to-day and the Westmoreland he used to know. His principal cause of amazement, however, is the difference between the feelings of the people then andnoyw. Engineers, however, will not save him. The county has made up its mind to get rid of aninecubus ; and surveys, flatterings, promises and the like will not alter the firm determination.
